New technical improvements, new problems.
I understand the frustration, I however see the whole thing a bit differently.
The AVX problem is not Bioware's fault, there are clear minimum system requirements for the game, and any processor that has this problem is significantly older than the required CPUs.
Overprotective virus scanners or not configuring the "Controlled Folder Access" properly is also not Bioware's responsibility.
That leaves the regional problem, and that is indeed Bioware's fault, but there are such bugs in every game, from every manufacturer, always.
There will never be a computer game without bugs, simply impossible with all the different system configurations out there.
Imho, this is just a normal launch.
And from the little I could see by now, because I spend too much time on this board it seems, 😉 the MELE is absolutely worth it.
@holger1405"The AVX problem is not Bioware's fault"
It absolutely is Bioware's fault. If it's not their fault the implemented a requirement for AVX support, then who's fault is it?
CP2077 had AVX requirements that cratered it on a lot of PCs (including myself). CDPR removed the requirement in a patch and it was fixed. I happily finished that game (which is a much more system taxing game then these games will EVER be) on my "old" CPU at a comfortable 50 fps with everything turned on but 4K and ray tracing.
If it can be done in that game, there's zero excuse it can't be done in this game if AVX is actually the problem that A LOT of people are having.
Edit: AVX in the launcher is a massive problem. I downloaded the homemade launcher here and ME1 launches and runs beautifully. It's absurd that some random guy on the internet has to fix Bioware's dumb choices of including AVX in the launcher for no reason.
